Pros

Its the best place i have ever worked. By working hard and showing how much i care for the animals and my co-workers i have been rewarded with promotion after promotion. In less then a year and a half i worked my way up from bather all the way to A.S.M.. Way to many people cry about not getting paid enough. For a guy with no college education or management experience i would say my pay is well over what they could've paid me! Petco is a great place to work you just have to have passion to work there.

Cons

Payroll is the only downside.

Pros

friendly store managers usually good discounts nostalgic

Cons

Forced to stay short staffed. Couldn't take proper breaks most days as a closing lead unless it was during the first few hours of shift. At the time the regional manager seemed more worried about the aesthetics of the back animal rooms floor that only employees saw when we had ac issues, issues getting access to an exotic vet, and only had enough hours to have two employees working at a time most shift on most days. I only had a couple interactions but that was one of them. Could not call off sick without leaving the store scrambling to find someone to stay open. Also sold improper habitats.
